Hole #17 @ Boulder Pass is a 426 yard par 4. Off the tee and with the wind at your back you must split the bunkers and try not to overshoot the fairway. The approach must find an elevated green fronted left by a concrete wall and right by a large bunker. If you overshoot the green it will drop off sharply in the back. Needless to say the concrete wall can create chaos if struck on the approach and any miscue from tee to green can be costly. The putting surface can be a little tricky as well. Par is good here but you'll see some birdies as well.

The final hole @ Boulder Pass is a 495 yard par 4. Your drive should carry to the hollow at the landing area protected by bunkers on either side. You must trust your instincts off the tee to find the fairway leaving a long iron slightly uphill approach to an undulating green protected on both sides by bunkers. A good iron shot will offer a great chance for birdie and a wonderful way to finish your round.
